Silverstone Fortress FT04 Review

Introduction and Technical Specification

Silverstone have been nearly as busy as we have of late. Tom's been re modelling the Office and Silverstone have been re modelling and updating several of their flagship lines. Having recently reviewed the new Raven we now turn our sights on the Fortress FT04, which as Tom would say is the errr, ahem, 4th in the line of Fortress cases from Silverstone. The case as you will see shares much of its internals with its "Darker" Sibling the RV04, but has a much more understated exterior. It's also considerably more expensive selling for between £175 and £200. On the face of it it's hard to see where this money has been spent. Good job we're here then to have a good look at it before you part with your hard earned moola.

Not my cup of tea, seems overpriced at £180, especially with the lack of tool-less drive bays and grommets and the top mounted power supply, which I thought had finally been eradicated in cases. Looks nice on the outside though Quote

Really liked the case at first until I saw the scissor jack!?! Could probably drop £20 from the price if they took it out, only gripe I have and am yet to see in cases is the ability to flip the motherboard tray and IO panel round...Quote
